TROOP THANK YOU NOTES

IN JULY OF 2008 WE HAD OUR FIVE YEAR ANNIVERSARY AS AN ORGANIZATION. I JUST WANT TO THANK EVERYONE THAT HAS MADE THAT POSSIBLE. OVER THE LAST FIVE YEARS WE HAVE MAILED OVER 2 MILLION BOXES TO DEPLOYED MEN AND WOMEN AND WE AREN'T CLOSE TO BEING DONE!

THE TROOPS REALLY APPRECIATE EVERYTHING THAT WE DO FOR THEM. I HAVE RECEIVED EMAILS AND THANK YOU NOTES FROM THE TROOPS EXPRESSING HOW MUCH IT MEANS TO THEM TO KNOW THAT WE SUPPORT THEIR EFFORTS.

LET'S KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!

HERE ARE SOME OF THE NOTES WE RECEIVED:

As the 1SG for the 703 EOD the support we have received through Military Connections has been invaluable. This is the first deployment for half of my Company and the support and love we have felt has made a lasting impression on all of my Soldiers and has been truly been over whelming. As for many of my NCO who have been with me through other deployments the generosity we have received has set a precedence we have not experienced before. I can not say enough about how much the gifts you have donated mean to those of us downrange.
Thank you,
1SG John Treida

On September 11th volunteers from Military Connections unloaded a huge box truck filled with supplies and care packages from Luzerne County in Pennsylvania. This is a note from one of the soldiers that received a box from the truck.

I'd like to thank all of you for the tremendous amount of support. We have received all the boxes, 14 I believe, and passed them out to the soldiers. They all extend their thanks and wish all a happy holiday season. It's a great feeling knowing that people back home, even those who we don't know, care and support us. The soldiers definitely appreciate the time and effort that you all have donated to make our lives a little better. It raises the morale of us all, especially the young soldiers who have never been away from home. We have been working hard here for the past 14 months and are nearing the end of our tour. Since we got here, we have made huge gains in securing the area and rebuilding the local infrastructure. We are down to almost zero attacks and the local population is starting to feel safe outside their homes. They have started to work with us to rid the area of insurgents which has also started to produce more jobs. Well again I'd like to thank everyone for their support and hard work, it definitely makes a difference. -Joe Parsons

TO ALL THAT PACKED THE BOXES

I want to take this moment out of my day and send you this short e-mail and THANK YOU, from the bottom of my heart for all that you have sent to the soldiers of my unit. We received all 7 Large boxes this past weekend, and i have been passing out the stockings everyday to my soldiers. It will take about 1 week, since my soldiers work all over this base and work all different shift. I know that it takes a lot of time and money to put theses stockings together, and me and the Company Commander will be sending you a little something to cover that. I am from your area, and have several soldiers in my unit that are from the same area. The unit is from the Wilkes-Barre area, and we will be back in states around July-August time frame. Thank you again for all your support, and me and the rest of the soldiers of the HHC 320th MP BN wish your families a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-Frank Lewis
